Toyota sales up 80% in March; closes FY17 with 11% growth

The robust demand of the two vehicles helped the company make up for five months of absence in Delhi-NCR region during the fiscal when diesel cars and SUVs with engine capacity of 2,000cc and above were banned, he added.PTI | March 31, 2017, 17:52 IST

For the fiscal 2016-17, TKM posted a growth of 11 per cent at 1,42,500 units as against 1,28,500 units in the previous fiscal.

"Our growth has been largely driven by Innova Crysta and Fortuner. We have so far delivered 75,000 units of Innova Crysta and 10,350 units of Fortuner in five months since its launch," Toyota Kirloskar Motor Director and Senior Vice-President Sales & Marketing N Raja said.

The robust demand of the two vehicles helped the company make up for five months of absence in Delhi-NCR region during the fiscal when diesel cars and SUVs with engine capacity of 2,000cc and above were banned, he added.

"Earlier in the fiscal, when the ban was on in Delhi-NCR we were looking at flat growth but in the last few months of the year our sales have picked up," he said.
